I lost over 20lbs in 4 hours!

[Tanya]

Since my blower never worked, and I accidentally broke the heater core a few months back, I decided to just rip it all out and leave it out.

CONTRARY to popular belief :sarcasm: I can make it through winters without it. I did it in New York with my white '83, and Washington is a lot easier to deal with, despite the humidity. Defrost for me = cracking the windows

I never realized how heavy the stuff was until I started pulling it out. Stuffed it all into a box and weighed

I haven't weighed everything I've removed, but according to Deans website my car has lost around 81lbs (not including swapping from auto to manual)

no a/c (-40)
no heat (-23)
no power steering (-11)
no cruise control (-2)
no washer fluid tank (-5ish with fluid)
no EGR system (-7)


She should weigh around 2880 now. I will remove the backseat for races, which is another 40ish lbs. I'll find out an accurate weight someday


I am so happy with my Inferior" mk2 (aka CELICA)

heh

 

[Sil]

Damn, I thought you had ideas for a new exercise program.

The only upside to keeping the heater is its a good way to slightly cool the engine off, does wonders in my friends 87 Monte SS.

And that mkII is looking good.

 

[SupraMaster]

^^^Yeah, she has a way of keeping that thing looking beautiful.

 

[Tanya]

Are you kidding? You guys must not be seeing the birdcrap on the back there, LOL!

 

[SupraMaster]

It doesn't matter if we're sober or high on crack, your car still looks beautiful.

In the midst of your inferiority complex you forgot your car is not a real supra and the MKIII is really an MKI.:icon_razz


Hurry up and dyno that thing.

 

[suprahero]

Ken, I love that picture^................:love:

Tanya, the bird shit just gives your car character...............:biglaugh:

 

[tlo86]

do you have mkiii seats in there?

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

Oh shit, i wonder who thats targeted at. Well at least you're doing this, instead of buying parts off of welfare checks.

 

[LilMissMkIII]

Awesome work Tanya!!!!!

Wanna come an help with mine???

 

[SupaMan]

nice tanya! id love to have a mk2 like yours.


and BTW a supra is a supra is a supra in my book even if it has celica in front of it

 

[foreverpsycotic]

Nice tanya. If you hear about any free MKIIs in the CT, NY, MA area that kinda run, be sure to pass it along.

 

[Keros]

No heater core, no heat?

I couldn't even begin to imagine having a car like that for winter here... dress for -40 degree weather just for a drive to Seven-11 to go to get a slurpee, wtf!

 

[7MA61]

no a/c (-40)
no heat (-23)
no power steering (-11)
no cruise control (-2)
no washer fluid tank (-5ish with fluid)
no EGR system (-7)

Mines down to 2820lbs with a full tank of fuel & all seats still in, spare tyre, heater & washer bottle

I have no aircon, power steering, stereo, or sound insulation though:naughty:

Last time it weighed in at 1382kg at the Drags with me in it. I was atleast 100kg at the time.

Best of luck getting some more weight out of it.

 

[c987long]

nice

Uh yeah, probably wouldn't have ripped out the heat if I was in Canada. Washington realy doesn't get horribly cold. I don't think it really gets below 30 much.

have you scaled the whole car before? that sounds INCREDIBLY light for a soup (like, can I say auto-x KING if you have supra powah plus that weight?)

I'm jealous :shifty:

Its called a MK2 they aren't flabby like a MK3:icon_bigg

 

[annoyingrob]

do you have mkiii seats in there?

You've never been in a MKII have you

Those are actually MKII Supra/ Celica GTS seats. They are VERY comfortable seats. You should sit in a MKII some day just to feel their seats

The give-away is the plastic sides.



Tanya, is that just the picture, or did someone key your car?

 

[Tanya]

Someone keyed the car before I got it

Everyone tells me how great my car looks on forums, but I manage to hide a lot of flaws in the angles of my pics. The car has numerous small dings and that horrible key mark.

She needs bodywork and a repaint someday, probably next year if I am lucky.

btw, the 1985 Supra brochure lists the Supras curb weight as:
2976 for Manual and 3016 for auto.
